Summary of postings on our

Let's Go Barging !

 Book a 2023 barge cruise at current 2022 rates

As we mentioned in an earlier post, Savoir Vivre has raised their rates for the 2023 barging season (unless you book by June 30th). This is due to increased fuel prices and other associated increases.

If you are considering a hotel barge cruise on the European waterways for next season, please contact us soon before other barges raise their rates. This is a trend we are seeing in yacht charters and it won’t surprise us if more barges notify us about rate increases within the next few weeks.  Read more.

Treat yourself to a Spring barge charter

Cruise into Spring !


After the frosty storms of this past winter, there’s nothing like a rejuvenating spring break to blow away the cobwebs. Spring is the time of tulips and a barge cruise is absolutely the best way to discover Holland. Tulips aside, Holland has a rich artistic and cultural history, plus much more.

In this newsletter, we feature barging in Holland. We welcome two barges into the Paradise Connection fold, Adagio and Aurora. We also have information about Holland barge cruises, plus some new special offers and discounts.

Enjoy!
